Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machining center support system for supporting machining of a component at a machining center.
  • this component is machined in experimental production.
  • CAD data of the component is created by a CAD/CAM computer to create CAM data from this CAD data
  • NC data created on the basis of this CAM data is transferred to a control panel of a machining center.
  • the machining center control panel controls the machine body based on the NC data, to machine the component in experimental production.
  • a person in charge of the machining center listens to sound which is raised during machining to decide whether or not machining is acceptable or measures shape dimensions etc. of an experimental-production component as machined to decide whether or not the component is machined properly. Then, if it is not machined properly, he repeats experimental production in a trial-and-error manner until the experimental-production component is machined properly.
  • the person in charge of the machining center listens to sound which is raised during machining to decide whether or not machining is acceptable or measures shape dimensions etc. of an experimental-production component as machined to decide whether or not the component is machined properly, so that he often decides whether the machining is acceptable in accordance with his experience or hunch. Therefore, the experimental-production process of a desired component takes too much of time prior to its real-production machining by use of the machine body at the machining center, thus leading to a problem that it is impossible to reduce a development period of a product using these components.
  • machining center support system which can improve an efficiency of an experimental-production process of a desired component prior to its real-production machining to thereby enable reducing a development period of a product using the component and also which can be easily applied to an existing machining center.
  • a machine body is operated according to the NC data, to machine the component.
  • in-process information output means processes in-process condition detection data detected by the in-process condition detection means, based on a processing program downloaded from a host computer.
  • display means displays the in-process information on a display of the host computer in such a manner that it can be compared to the CAD data.
  • a machining center support system can be constituted and so can be applied to the existing machining center easily.
  • in-process information can be presented as a database, thus enabling providing an electronic version of know-how of, for example, a skilled engineer.
  • FIG. 1 is a system flow sheet for showing a configuration of a machining center support system along with that of a machining center.
  • FIG. 1 is a system flow sheet for showing a machining center support system 1 which improves an efficiency of an experimental-production process of a desired component prior to its real-production machining, along with an overall configuration of a machining center 2. It is to be noted that for convenience in explanation, this system flow sheet has a flowchart related to the machining center support system 1.
  • a machine body 3 of the machining center 2 is an NC working machine which is driven and controlled by a machining center control panel 4, which is connected with a host computer 5 via a Local Area Network (LAN). Furthermore, there is provided a CAD/CAM computer 6 which is operated by a computer operator 7, to create CAD data of a work W which is machined by the machine body 3 of the machining center 2 into a component and also create CAM data and NC data thereof.
  • LAN Local Area Network
  • this CAD/CAM computer 6 is connected via the LAN to the machining center control panel 4 as well as to-the host computer 5, so that CAD data created by the CAD/CAM computer 6 is transferred to the host computer 5 while, at the same time, CAM data is converted into NC data and transferred to the machining center control panel 4.
  • a tool temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of a tool blade
  • a drive motor temperature sensor for detecting the vibration of the work W in process
  • a jig vibration sensor for detecting the vibration of a jig
  • a cutting load sensor etc.
  • these sensors each function as in-process condition detection means for detecting the in-process condition of the machine body 3 of the machining center 2.
  • the in-process information processing module 1a of the machining center support system 1 is connected via the LAN to the host computer 5.
  • the in-process information processing module 1a of the machining center support system 1 uses, for example, a built-in type CPU at its pivotal place and has a data input interface, a program storage unit for storing a in-process information processing software program which is downloaded from the host computer 5 as described later, a data output interface, a network communication function, etc., thus receiving via the data input interface the detection data output from the above-mentioned tool temperature sensor, drive motor temperature sensor, work vibration sensor, jig vibration sensor, cutting load sensor, etc.
  • the in-process information processing module 1a transfers through the data output interface, the network communication function, and the LAN to the host computer 5 in-process information which is obtained by integrally processing the detection data output from the above-mentioned tool temperature sensor, drive motor temperature sensor, work vibration sensor, jig vibration sensor, cutting load sensor, etc.
  • the host computer 5 displays the in-process information on a display in such a manner that this information can be compared to the above-mentioned CAD data.
  • a person in charge of the machining center can thus compare the in-process information and the CAD data to each other to thereby obtain improvement information for altering, for example, a tool revolution speed or a tool path, so that he can correct the CAM data and the NC data based on this improvement information, thus improving a machining efficiency of an experimental-production component.
  • the host computer 5 stores CAD data of a component and tool management information beforehand and so can display a tool path of the machine body 3 along with a machining position of the component.
  • the host computer 5 can transform the above-mentioned in-process information into a database and present it. It is thus possible to provide such an electronic version of machining know-how as that of a skilled engineer.
  • step S1 of FIG. 1 when CAD data of a component obtained by machining the above-mentioned work W by the CAD/CAM computer 6 operated by the computer operator 7 is created, it is transferred to the host computer 5 as described above, while as shown at step S2 CAM data and NC data which are based on the CAD data are created at the CAD/CAM computer 6.
  • the process references tool information of the machining center 2 and material information of the work W stored as a database of the CAD/CAM computer 6.
  • the machine body 3 await a running start instruction from the machining center 2.
  • the process confirms the operation of the machining center 2 at step S3 and then, at step S4, starts machining of the work W for experimental production of a component.
  • the host computer 5 receives the above-mentioned in-process information output from the in-process information processing module 1a to display this in-process information on a display in such a manner that it can be compared to the above-mentioned CAD data of the component stored beforehand, based on these in-process information and CAD data.
  • step S5 when the person in charge of the machining center compares the in-process information and the CAD data to each other on the display of the host computer 5 and if he decides that the experimental-production component is machined properly, the process shifts to real-production machining as shown at step S6. If he decides based on comparison between the in-process information and the CAD data that the experimental-production component is not properly machined, on the other hand, the process obtains improvement information at a component machining process from the information displayed on the above-mentioned display and returns to step S2, where it corrects the CAM data and the NC data in accordance with this improvement information so that the component may be machined. In such a manner, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the experimental-production process prior to the real-production machining of the component, thus reducing the development period of a product using a plurality of components.
